Student-led show
Directed by Noah Witty & Julian ThurmesThe fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are turned on their heads in this fast-paced, rollicking ride as two narrators and several actors attempt to combine all 209 stories ranging from classics like Snow White, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel to more bizarre, obscure stories like The Devil’s Grandmother and The Girl Without Hands. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of audience participation and madcap fun.

The Minnesota Association of Community Theatres (MACT) is a statewide, volunteer run organization. We hold meetings, workshops, festivals and other events throughout the state of Minnesota.
MACT operates on a two year cycle. In even numbered years we put on FAST*Fest, a non-adjudicated festival of 20-minute plays. In odd numbered years we produce MACT*Fest, which is an adjudicated festival of 60-minute plays which is part of the AACTFest cycle. Along with the performances at our festivals there are workshops and networking events.
Frank Peot of Wisconsin has retired as AACT’s Secretary after almost 35 year in the position. Frank has adjudicated at and has been the AACT Festival Commissioner for several MACT*Fests.
AACT conducts occasional surveys of community theatres to identify trends. It recently released the results of it’s latest survey. Some excerpts from the survey about non-musical productions are below.
Americans for the Arts reports that the 2023 State Legislative Session saw over 45 pieces of legislation in 18 states being introduced to regulate drag performances with several becoming law.
